I am not the happiest people at this moment in regards to our coaching position. I will form an oppinion of weather or not I would have wanted Parcells here AFTER we sign our next HC. As far as Im concerned, Parcells is still a top 10 coach in this league (he took his team to the final 12).
Regardless of what happened on the field the past 4 years, I don't think anyone on this board can have a straight face and tell me this team is not miles better than it has been in years, and the foundation is in place.
QB - Romo, looks like we have a keeper.
RB - Barber and Jones are a good RB tandem. Did we expect greater things out of Jones after his rookie year, yes. But let's see from here on out if Parcells really did "overcoach" him.
WR - T.O. probably was not soemthing that Parcells pursused whole heartedly, but he's on the team, and the offense is better off with him than without him. Glenn was brought in for a 6th rounder, and I would say he was worth the money. Factor in that we have brought in Crayton, Hurd, and Austin as young guys, and you can't say Parcells hasn't added depth to this position.
TEWitten in teh 3rd round was simply brilliant. We've got this position shored up for a while. I'm still doubting the Fasano pick, but who knows how that could turn out.
OLThough this spot has been area of concern throughout Parcells tenure, you have to put the failure to really shore this unit up more on bad luck than on neglect. Rivera was not supposed to play this badly. His 2 draft picks Peterman and Rogers could have panned out and changed alot. On the plus side, he has Gurode playing up to his potential, and may finally have found us a starting quality RT in Marc Colombo.
DLIf Canty gets back on track, and we really have something in Hatcher, Parcells really has helped the D. Spears needs to get himself going for his 3rd year. The addition of Ferguson is huge regardless of what scheme we employ next year.
LBThe jury is out on Carpenter at this point. Ware looks like he will be a force for some time, regardless of system. James looked really solid last year, and lost anytime teams threw on us this year. Aydole was a solid contributer. Still waiting on Burnett. I guess we'll see how this unit pans out.
secondaryI think you can give Pareclls some fault for not shoring up the FS spot. But overall, he's added alot of talent to the secondary. Aaron Glenn, and even Anthony Henry have been stout more oftehn than not.
Special TeamsMcBriar is a Parcells find. I don't think you can blame him for the piss poor play of Vanderjagt, or any of the kickers last year. Skyler Green may be a stain on Parcells work here in Dallas, but overall, he's done quite well with other guys he's brought in, especially at the KR spot.
Top to bottom this roster is better than it was before Parcells arrival. If anything, he has laid the groundwork for a succesful team for years to come. His gameday strategies may have failed him in this day and age, but he still is a solid talent evaluator.
I can guarantee that our next coach will retain many more of the players on this roster than Bill retained when he inherited the team. Because as much as we liek to harp on some of the guys we have, all of them probably deserve a place on an NFL roster, wheras many of the guys we had during the Campo years (yes I'll give him teh benefit of the doubt because of the cap strapped times) are no longer playing in this league.
Thanks for the roster coach Parcells. And other than that, nice life, and dont gamble all of Jerry's money away.
